Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Abandoned Mine Lands with Department of Conservation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00003) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resources and environmental quality and protection resource management (CFDA 15.236). It is structured as a cooperative agreement and was designed to support work related to abandoned mine lands in California through an ongoing partnership with the California Department of Conservation, Abandoned Mine Land Unit (DOC). The core purpose is continuity: BLM states this opportunity continues prior agreement L09AC15643 (extended through December 31, 2014) because the activity is already underway and recompeting it would significantly disrupt progress, consistency, and completion of the work.
The announcement makes clear that BLM and DOC have worked together for more than a decade, and that maintaining the existing partnership is important for keeping key program elements aligned and consistent, including established protocols, reporting practices, mapping products, and other technical or administrative materials that have been built over time. In practical terms, the opportunity supports sustained coordination and implementation rather than launching a brand-new, open competition effort, and it positions DOC as the continuing partner to help BLM carry out its abandoned mine lands mission in the state.
Funding details indicate BLM expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. The award ceiling is listed as $1,500,000 and the award floor as $500, and no cost sharing or matching requirement is specified. Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with DOC being a state entity and reinforces the intended continuation of the existing state-federal collaboration.
The opportunity was posted and created on December 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 30, 2015, and an archive date of December 30, 2019. Additional information was made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker (Grants Management Officer) at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov.
